Door Repairs

Door repairs are a very common issue I run into here at TJ Ward. Pro. Doors are made with multiple moving parts and your home will tend to settle over time, your doors will always need maintenance or repairs. No matter if it’s an entry door, bedroom door, pocket door, folding door, or patio sliding door, see the issues listed below and let me know if I can help you with your door repairs. Hi I’m TJ Ward I will have you back in business in short order. I’m the”Small Job Specialist here in Flathead County

Common Door Issues

Door won’t close:

This is caused by a house settling over time. Settling is caused when the wood that your home is built from dries. As wood is alive, even nailed down, it expands and contracts and can warp slightly. This is a natural process and happens with every wood framed built home. Regrettably, it can bend the frame of the door keeping the door from shutting properly. When this happens on an exterior door the weather seals don’t make contact and you may start to experience a draft and heat or A/C loss. Energy efficiency is lost and you’d really doing the environment a favor by having the door fixed or installing a new, more insulated door.

Door not latching:

This issue is caused by either worn hardware or settling in the home, both in some cases. This is a very easy repair for a knowledgeable pro and can usually be done in less than an hour. This issue is commonly seen on sliding patio doors due to the nature of the locking mechanism.

Patio door difficult to slide:

Issues usually worn out rollers, a worn track, a poor door install, or I’ve seen as simple as dirt buildup on the track. If your patio door is more difficult to move than it used to be, you’re needtin some TLC. Don’t worry, it can be fixed in most cases.

Deadbolt won’t latch:

Again is another issue that usually is caused by settling in your home. This is relatively easy repair for an experienced pro and can, in most cases be repaired in less than an hour. Sometimes there is no frame adjustment required. Adjustments of the strike plate can solve this issue in many situations.

Outdated or beyond repair doors:

Older homes can benefit highly with the installation of doors if you are looking to update your home. The best part is that the newer doors are typically built much better in terms of energy efficiency. Also, if installed correctly, can be installed to save even more money on the power bill. By sealing around the perimeter of the door with expanding foam, you can eliminate heat loss through the frame of the door.

Mr. Ward was a needle in haystack. Now, reviews are not my thing, but when you're new to a town, and you stumble across a gem of a helpful human being like TJ in the first month of being here, you make exceptions.
He gave Montana a greater name. (And he ain't even from here.) His knowledge and expertise were one thing, but what really set him apart was his work ethics and his willingness to go the extra mile.
It was awesome to connect with a guy with his skill set, that wasn't afraid of small jobs! We run a short term rental Retreat in Columbia Falls and he's come through for us on several occasions this summer. From deck work to consulting (and several dirty jobs he might not want listed here.)
He automatically gave us a sense of comfort because of his genuine concern for budget and lack of ego. His estimates were on point, and he is boy scout prepared when you call on him. Being in a somewhat remote area, this was important to us.
Yeah, we'll be using him again, and again..regardless of season or gig. He's solid.read more

It’s easy to give a 5 star review when everything goes according to plan and stays in budget. But to get a 5 star review when there was a miscommunication is outstanding, as is Tj. I would and will hire him again.read more

TJ completed door adjustments and built a threshold after I had new floors installed. The task of trimming flooring, adjusting the frame, building up a concrete threshold base and installing a solid threshold. Efficient in his work and matched his estimate. Will definitely keep his number close for future tasks!read more
